President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened to maritime traffic “one way or another,” reiterating his proposal to provide military escorts for ships traveling through the strategic chokepoint, which Iran closed at the beginning of the conflict.

Writing on his Truth Social platform on Saturday evening, Trump said the United States would work to ensure the passage is reopened, threatening military action to force the move.

He wrote that the U.S. could reopen the waterway by “bombing the hell out of the shoreline,” adding that “many countries” could provide warships to escort commercial vessels traveling through the narrow passage.
